Sheila Whiteley begins by examining the counter-culture's reactionary attitudes to women through the lyrics of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
Four Stars Great book for any student/scholar of feminist musicology.. Item itself was in perfect shapebut I hate the book. Cristina I wasn't sure if I was supposed to review the actual content of the book or just the book itself so I went ahead and gave it 5 stars for being in perfect condition. As for the content, however, I completely hate the book. I have to read it for my college freshman seminar class and the style is extremely difficult to read. The content is also terrible in my opinion. Unless you absolutely have to, I would not suggest reading this book.
